I feel your pain....
After a reboot QtWeb stated complaining about a missing libjpeg. It was working fine before.
It's about time I started from scratch again. Lost track of what I installed myself, and what was already there.

Also, just for the sake of it, here is a little CLI typing tutor called "Repeat After Me" from http://litcave.rudi.ir/. Just copy what's on screen (random characters), and it gives speed and accuracy results at the end.
To keep it in pupngo stylee, it is statically compiled (with Musl), and it is about the limit of my capabilites so far. Keeps me off the streets anyway.
There is also a little CLI mp3 player on that site called minmad, which might be of interest - only 6380B stripped when compiled dynamically.

depending on what info you need we could adapt goingnuts' pnmmon for that, though it has been a while since I have played with inotify directly (after I found out glib/gio has a wrapper)... I wonder though if it would be better to take a look at jwm traybuttons (for the icon part) and the clock (because it changes) to add something similar to my "sit" program (simple icon tray) ... I don't know if Joe W. would be open to it though since inotify is linux specific AFAIK and I think some of the bsds keep a port (maybe if we could ifdef it?). The great part is that the latest jwm has svg support (though it adds cairo/rsvg dependency) which makes for much simpler tray applet construction.

RE: flash7 masquerading as flash11 ... you can as long as you are ok with a full crash if a site _actually_ requires flash8+ (this includes ewetoob) because that mozilla tree never got the plugin sandbox code (don't ask me to backport it though ... their source tree is ridiculous to navigate because it is large, unorganized and poorly named and the code is C++ which though not ideal is even more of a PITA because of the environment it is in - I swear the mozilla devs must have a meticulously tweaked IDE just to find the right headers .... though I think ttuuxxx was stubborn enough to brave those waters when he did firedog - it would be cool if he did a blog post or something on that experience)

@greengeek
wjaguar has patched recent versions of mtpaint to use up to 92 colors (vs. the former 64) so you can just use the latest release now (instead of the hacky patch I came up with)... On a side note I recent did some comparison between indexed png and xpm images and if the xpms are xz compressed (as on recent versions of squash) then they are ~5% smaller than the equivalent pngs

side note:
I've been working with the 3.8 kernel because it now has an added syscall called finit_module that will make it 10x easier to load modules in init from C (still need to figure out pthreads though so I can load modules in parallel with X starting), but the xz compressed squash and better arm support is also nice. ... This is for my own init replacement (yaknow - cuz there ain't enough already) that only does exactly what is passed on the kernel command line._________________Web Programming - Pet Packaging 100 & 101

Well, if EwwwwwTube (lol) requires a minimum of Flash8, why not hack Flash8 to report itself as Flash11...?

Your first Opera link has a broken [ url ] tag

EDIT: technosaurus, could you provide me with a libpthread.so suitable for that last Opera link, the 9.64 version? I can symlink as needed. It also complains (but ignores) that libjvm.so and libawt.so are missing.

Regarding the network tray icon -- something that shows that one is connected, and blinks occasionally on data transfer, would be about right -- sort of like in mainline Puppies. More specifically, it needs to show --
(1) connected but idle status (connected but no transfer)
(2) disconnected status
(3) connected "busy" status (connected and transferring data)
It would be nice (but not necessary) if there were further indication for --
(4) attempting to connect but not fully connected yet

Some sort of non-optical-media-centric music player (MP3/MIDI/WAV/etc) would be nice as well, since xhippo is mute.

Also, is there a way to get pUPnGO to play a sound at startup? I found and tried a PET called PStartupShutdownSound (phew) but it didn't work. It's for 431 and later only, apparently _________________

jwm-0.21 did have a build-in xload tray-thing beside clock - might be worth looking at that for a start. Can the svg be adapted to gtk1? (it is my impression that svg-support are linked to gtk2 but I might be total wrong)

starhawk: did you try to use mpg123/minimp3 to play mp3? xhippo it self holds no player but depends on external players so if one of the two actually give you some sound xhippo can be fixed...
As for startup sound place a script as below in /root/Startup
